Cambridge Matters

Devolution deal sees launch of new Combined Authority for Cambs and Peterborough Last November, all the local councils in Cambridgeshire, including Cambridge City Council, voted to accept the government’s devolution proposals for Cambridgeshire and Peterborough. This means that the city will receive £70 million to help tackle the housing shortage in Cambridge by building 500 new council homes. A total of £600 million (£20m per year over 30 years) will go to support economic growth, development of local infrastructure and job creation throughout the devolution area, and a further £100m will be spent on new affordable, rented and shared ownership homes in the area. The devolution plans will see the creation of a new ‘Combined Authority’ made up of the leaders of the district councils, the county council, Peterborough City Council and the Greater Cambridge Greater Peterborough Local Enterprise Partnership. A new mayor for Cambridgeshire and Peterborough will also be elected – with the first elections for the role taking place on Thursday 4 May. For more details see page 18. Devolution means that the government will now hand over some powers to the new Combined Authority. Cambridge City Council will continue in its current form, and will still deliver its current services to city residents.

Bin day changes save money and help make routes more efficient By now you should have received a letter at home telling you about changes to bin collection days, and many of you will already have had your first collections on your new day. If you missed out on the information or have lost it, and want to find out when your new bin day is, all you need to do is to go to the post code search on our website, or call us on the number to the right. Even if your bin day has not changed, the time of day your bins are emptied may have changed, because our bin lorries are now operating on new routes. Please make sure you put your bins out by 7am on your collection day and remember that the lorries are out collecting until 3pm. The sequence of some rounds is changing so please bear with us if you have to wait longer between collections. If you have extra recycling please take it to the Recycling Centres near Milton or Thriplow or a local recycling centre.

Combined figures for Cambridge City Council and South Cambridgeshire District Council.

Why are we making the changes? The changes to bin rounds have been introduced after we joined forces with South Cambridgeshire District Council last year to create a new shared waste service based at our depot at Waterbeach. The new bin collection rounds will work across the city and South Cambridgeshire boundaries, to make them more efficient. l In total 320 new collection rounds for our bin lorries have been designed, to ensure they use the shortest driving routes, avoid congestion and spread the workload evenly among our bin crews. l Our bin lorries will now travel approximately 20,000 fewer miles per year using the new routes. l This will mean we will have to spend considerably less money on fuel, which will help us meets some of our savings targets following the reduction in funding we receive from the government. l The changes to bin collections will also mean reductions in traffic and emissions from vehicles. l The changes are expected to result in direct savings of £150,000 in the first year.

Cambridge Street Aid – helping people on the street to turn a corner The number of people sleeping rough across the UK as a whole has been rising for several years, and Cambridge is no exception to the national trend. There are a number of factors that may have contributed to this rise, including increased difficulty some people have in accessing mental health services throughout the country, a reluctance among some rough sleepers to seek shelter in hostels, and the lack of affordable housing in the city. We work with partners including charities like WinterComfort and Jimmy’s Cambridge, and other organisations, to try and help and support on the streets, homeless people and those at risk of becoming homeless. This includes: Giving more than £700,000 a year in grants to a number of charities and services assisting homeless people and people on the street. All the major local homelessness charities receive some funding from the council.

Working with local organisations who provide over 500 beds, of which over 300 are for single homeless people in hostels and other accommodation a very high figure compared to the population of Cambridge as a whole.

Forging strong links with local homeless charities Jimmy’s Cambridge, Winter Comfort, Change, Grow, Live (which provides a street outreach service), Riverside Care and Support, Cambridge Cyrenians, the Cambridge Churches Homelessness Project, and a range of smaller providers. These organisations help us set priorities for the work we do to assist people on the street and rough sleepers.

Ensuring up to 40 council or housing association tenancies a year are available exclusively for former rough sleepers who are ready to move on from hostel accommodation.

Thomas’ story Thomas’ accommodation came with his job, and when he was made redundant he was suddenly on the streets. Then he heard about Jimmy’s Cambridge, the assessment centre for homeless people on East Road. Thomas* soon moved out of Jimmy’s into a shared house and with a roof over his head he was able to find a job within a month. His new employer needed him to be at work by 6:00am sharp, so public transport wasn’t going to work for him. He also had to look smart in a suit and proper shoes. Thomas and his support worker, Jane, had a chat and Jane made an application to Cambridge Street Aid for money for a

Working with a range of enforcement agencies to deter begging, and let the public know how best to help those on the street. bicycle and clothing, solving the problem. Jane said: “Applying for the grant was straightforward. The staff [at Cambridgeshire Community Foundation] were very helpful and the money arrived in the bank fairly rapidly.” *Name has been changed

At the end of last year the council introduced a initiative called Cambridge Street Aid which encourages residents and visitors to help rough sleepers and vulnerable people by donating to a charitable fund rather than giving cash directly to people asking for money on the streets. Every penny donated goes directly to helping those in most need, through grants of up to £750 to help people on the streets get the support, accommodation and employment they need to turn a corner. Studies by prominent charities such as Thames Reach in London have suggested people’s ability to get off the streets can be hindered if money from begging is spent on alcohol or drugs. Some people who beg already have a place to live while some genuinely homeless people also choose not to beg. If you’d like to donate to Cambridge Street Aid you can do so in three ways: wed l TEX T: Just text ‘CAMB16’ follo to like ld wou you by the amount to £3’ B16 ‘CAM ple donate (for exam 70070. l ON LIN E: Visit Community Foundation’s website cambsc f.org. uk/cambridge-street-aid.html payable to l CHEQUE : Sen d a che que ity mun Com hire ‘Cambridges Street ge brid Cam to Foundation’ ity mun Com hire ges Aid, Cambrid , One gar Han Foundation, The Airport, Newmarket Road, Cambridge CB5 8TG

City Deal explores ‘Clean Air Zone’ for Cambridge ‘A city where people can breathe clean air, move around easily and enjoy green spaces – a place where it’s safe for children to walk and cycle.’ This is the future vision for Cambridge according to the City Deal and thousands of people who responded to a recent City Deal consultation. And this year, people will start to reap the benefits of work to bring about a change in city centre travel and to ‘future-proof’ the historic city in the face of growth. With daily trips in and around Cambridge set to rise by 30% to 40% over the next decade or so, the Greater Cambridge City Deal partnership is investing now in schemes that will keep people and businesses moving. The City Deal’s Interim Chief Executive Rachel Stopard said: “This is an exciting time for the City Deal as residents and visitors in the region will begin to see the results of the major investment being brought to the area. “We know that our region is set to grow so we’re working on a range of schemes that will help keep Cambridge the historic, attractive city loved by so many, whilst it grows as a world leader in industry and employment.” So what’s next? City travel More than 10,000 responses were received following a public campaign last summer on plans to tackle congestion. While one of the proposals of peak-time congestion control points on key radial roads has been dropped following the public response, work has started to develop other measures including: l A workplace parking levy scheme that will fund local transport improvements l Expansion of residents’ parking zones l Interventions to manage rush-hour traffic levels and, l Consideration of a Clean Air Zone to tackle growing levels of pollution (See box on right). Cycling and walking Construction begins this spring on new cross-city cycling routes, which will give better access to key employment, transport and housing sites, and help to secure the city’s status as the UK’s number one cycling destination.

Smart Cambridge The first of a number of ‘smart city’ projects, using digital technology to solve problems facing the city will be launched, including a mobile travel app and the outcome of research on the feasibility of alternative travel options.

Affordable housing More affordable housing will be delivered by the City Deal-funded Housing Development Agency which has built more than 100 homes for affordable rent or shared ownership in the city and South Cambridgeshire since April 2016.

IN FOCUS: Clean air zone In response to strong public support for addressing air quality, the City Deal team will also look at establishing a Clean Air Zone in central Cambridge. The proposed Clean Air Zone would include the trafficked parts of the historic core, the inner ring road and junctions within, and main radial routes into the city (see map). There are a number of ways of creating a Clean Air Zone, including a pollution charge and banning certain vehicles due to their age or emissions. Clean Air Zones are currently being piloted in five UK cities and City Deal officers will be researching how a similar scheme could work in Cambridge.

Cambridge Matters

Sports and activities for all this spring If you find you tend to hibernate a bit during the winter – the start of longer days and warmer weather during springtime might give you the urge to get out of the house more regularly and take more exercise. Here are a few ideas for how people of all ages, experience and ability can get out and get more active.

Running Have you been inspired by the Cambridge Half Marathon this year? If you’ve been thinking about getting your trainers on and going for a run, we have three great beginners’ running routes of 2 to 2.5km marked out in some of our beautiful open spaces: Jesus Green and Midsummer Common, Cherry Hinton Hall, and Coldham’s Common. Just look for the ‘Run England 321’ marker posts on the routes to help guide you round. If you’re not ready to run, why not walk the routes instead?  For more information including maps of the routes, visit: cambridge.gov.uk/run

Tennis Did you know there are 18 council-owned tennis courts in our parks and open spaces across the city? You don’t need to book or pay to use them – you can just turn up and play. You’ll find the courts at: l Barnwell Road (one court) l Cherry Hinton Hall (one court) l Christ’s Pieces (four courts) l Coleridge Recreation Ground (two courts) l Jesus Green (six courts including two grass courts) l Lammas Land (one court) l Nightingale Recreation Ground (two courts) l Trumpington Recreation Ground (one court) If you’re interested in playing tennis with other people in a sociable,

welcoming environment, you may also be interested in ParkTennis, which takes place every Saturday morning throughout the year at the Jesus Green tennis courts from 10am-12 noon. These free sessions are ideal for players of any age, from beginners to veterans, and involve a series of tennis-based games and activities with the emphasis very much on having fun.  For more details visit parktennis.org or cambridge.gov.uk/tennis

Streetgames Want to try something new or just get more active this spring time? There are loads of free sporting activities each week in Arbury and Abbey, for young people aged 11 years and older, with many sessions aimed at people aged 16 plus. The sports and activities in our StreetGames programme are fun, informal and open to all. They include gymnastics, basketball, football, female-only swimming and fitness sessions, tennis, multi-sports, glow in the dark ‘glowsports’ and baseball.  To find out when and where the sessions take place each week, visit: cambridge.gov.uk/streetgames

Swimming The council manages several swimming pools across the city – Parkside Pools, Abbey Leisure Complex, King’s Hedges Learner Pool, and Jesus Green Lido (open May to September). Free swimming at these pools is available to all BETTER card users who are under 16 years throughout the year at the following venues and times: l Abbey Leisure Complex – Tues and Thurs 4pm-6pm l Parkside Pool – Mon, Weds, Fri 4pm-6pm l King’s Hedges Learner pool – Sat 1pm-4pm Free swimming is also available to all under-16 BETTER card holders during school holidays.

If you’re an adult looking to learn to swim, or improve your swimming 14-week courses lessons are also available at all our pools for just £35! l Would you like a BETTER membership card? They are available at all our pools for just £2.20 to £5 and give you reduced rate access to council pools for a whole year.  For more information on swimming in Cambridge visit: better.org.uk/ cambridge

Table tennis PING into spring! There are 16 outdoor table tennis tables dotted around the city in locations like Cherry Hinton Hall, Chesterton Rec, Lammas Land, Brown’s Field and Christ’s Pieces. They’re free to use, and bats and balls are provided – so why not stop for a game next time you see one?  Visit cambridge.gov.uk/tabletennis for more information.

Developer contributions help fund new facilities across the city A range of projects have been completed in the last year to improve local facilities for new and existing residents as the city grows. This has been funded by financial contributions paid by developers in order to address the impact of new homes and buildings which create more demands on existing community amenities. This is also known as Section 106 (S106) funding, named after a section of the Town and Country Planning Act. S106 funding has benefited every ward in the city in recent years. It has been spent on projects such as community meeting rooms, refurbished play areas, new or improved open spaces, sports facilities and public art.

Could you be a Digital Champion and help older people get online? Would you like to help older people learn to change their energy supplier online, shop safely on the internet, contact friends on Facebook, or Skype relatives overseas? We’re currently looking for more Digital Champions to lead sessions for people aged over 60, who currently have little or no experience of using computers, but are interested in getting online and learning new digital skills. The first four of the council’s digital champions recently completed their training, after spending five weeks learning the skills they needed to lead their own workshops. They were then equipped with all the technical kit they needed to run sessions. The first of these are now taking place at the council’s sheltered housing schemes – before additional sessions are added in other locations across the city. The project has been funded from resources earmarked for the council’s Anti Poverty Strategy. This aims to support older people to access the services they need and to reduce the social isolation that they may experience.

Cambridge Matters

Volunteer to help keep Cambridge tidy Would you like to make a real difference to life in your local neighbourhood? We’re looking for volunteers to help us in our work keeping the city’s streets and open spaces clean, tidy and pleasant. There are a number of ways you can help: l Take part in litter picks in specific areas l Help to remove graffiti l Give advice to dog walkers on dog fouling

Let us know about any environmental issues that you think need addressing, whether it’s overgrown hedges, illegal fly tipping or locations where people persistently drop cigarette ends. Our Streets and Open Spaces team can put you in touch with other people for a particular project, provide you with useful equipment you need for your activities or help to get things sorted by working with other council officers and other organisations. If you volunteer, we’ll provide you with the training you need and you could learn some useful new skills such as enhancing your public speaking, or improving your IT. You’ll also have the chance to earn ‘time credits’ under a scheme which pays you tokens for each hour of volunteering. These tokens can then be exchanged for a variety of things, from exercise classes to cinema and theatre tickets.

Get composting this springtime As the days grow longer and you have more opportunities to get outside, why not join the army of composters in the city who benefit from a home compost heap? Compost Awareness Week takes place from 7 to 13 May. This could be an appropriate time of year to add a compost heap to your garden in order to improve or maintain the quality of your soil and help you grow healthy plants, reduce the use of fertiliser and improve water retention in your garden. Home composting uses natural bedding from herbivore pets (e.g. processes to turn garden (and some rabbits), paper towels, used tissues, kitchen and household) waste into toilet roll tubes and cardboard egg compost. Home composters have various boxes, wood ash and natural fibres shapes and forms, either bought or (cotton and wool). home-made. There are loads of things you can add to your home compost including: • To get a home composting bin visit: l Garden waste - like leaves, grass Website: getcomposting.com cuttings, young weeds, hedge To find out more about the process of clippings, old bedding plants, straw composting green bin contents visit: l Kitchen waste – such as tea bags and Website: recap.co.uk leaves, coffee grounds, uncooked fruit To find out more about what to recycle, visit: and vegetable peelings, egg shells Website: cambridge.gov.uk/bins l Other items – including less obvious Email: wasteandstreets@cambridge.gov .uk items like hair and nail clippings, Phone: 01223 458282

New housing in city and beyond More than 100 new affordable homes have been built in Cambridge and South Cambridgeshire since last spring. The building of the much-needed new homes were overseen by the Greater Cambridge Housing Development Agency, a new organisation made up of local councils and funding from the City Deal. New homes in Cambridge have been completed at Scholars Court off Harrison Drive, and at Aylesborough Close. The Housing Development agency aims to provide 250 new homes per year over the next three to four years. Safety first for taxi drivers All taxi drivers in Cambridge are being given training to ensure they are fully up to date with issues such as protection of children and vulnerable people and general equality awareness. The aim of the training is to help make the city a safer place by providing drivers with the information they need to recognise their responsibilities, and give them clear guidance on what they can do if they have concerns about the safety of people they encounter during their work.

Multi-storeys set for multiple improvements Cambridge’s car parks are well used and need regular maintenance, so we are reinvesting income from parking to improve facilities at two multi-storeys. The Grand Arcade and Queen Anne Terrace car parks are set to have modern sprinkler systems installed, while in a separate project the Grand Arcade car park’s drainage system and worn areas of flooring will be replaced to protect it from the effects of rain water. The projects are expected to be completed by 2018.

Spring edition

Water – a precious resource It may not always seem it during the damper months of the year, but Cambridge gets less rainfall than virtually anywhere else in the country. By using less water, we can help conserve this vital resource for the future, and even save money on household bills. Every year World Water Day is held on 22 March to raise awareness of the importance of using fresh water sustainably. There are lots of ways to reduce the amount of water you waste and also save money. They range from fixing leaks (a tap can drip 15 litres of water a day) to reducing the time you leave a tap on – taps left on turned on can waste six litres of water a minute. You could also consider installing a water meter (free from Cambridge Water) to keep track of your usage – and if you save hot water you will also save on your energy bills. At home on average we each use about 150 litres of water every day. The chart below shows what we use it for (mostly for flushing the toilet) and some ideas for how to use less. Recently we tested water meters in several households across the city to compare water

use and costs. On average in smaller households of one to two people, installing a meter led to annual savings of between £130-£250. As a result we are now working with Cambridge Water to install water meters into the smallest council properties, and we are happy to provide any residents with help and assistance to switch to a water meter.

• Website: cambridge.gov.uk/ reducing-water-use Phone: 01223 457900

Average daily house water use Garden: Use a watering can rather than a hose. Use sprinklers sparingly

Shower: Time how long you shower and keep it short

Dishwasher: Don’t pre-rinse dishes and use eco setting

Toilet: Use a “hippo” in the toilet cistern (a bag that holds water so less is used to flush) Throw cotton balls, tissues etc. in the bin – don’t flush away

Brushing teeth: Don’t leave water running

35%

6% 8% 12% Laundry: Fill with as many clothes as possible and use low water cycle Bath: Get kids to share. Have a shallower bath or shower instead

Washing up: Use a washing up bowl rather than running a tap

Switch off for Earth Hour Earth Hour is held worldwide towards the end of March each year, encouraging individuals, communities, households and businesses to turn off lights for one hour as a symbol for their commitment to the planet. This year, the event is on Saturday 25 March. Between 8.30pm and 9.30pm that day, supporters are asked to turn off non-essential lights for one hour. The Council has taken steps to reduce energy from our lighting in recent times through installing energy-efficient LED lighting at our car parks and other sites, and we will be turning off all nonessential lights at the Guildhall for Earth Hour. There are many actions we can take as individuals and organisations to help reduce climate change and go further than supporting Earth Hour. You could improve the energy efficiency of your home by: l Installing the recommended depth of loft insulation (270mm or 10 inches) in your loft l Insulating the cavity walls to keep the heat in and reduce your fuel bill l Getting a smart meter installed by your energy supplier to give you real-time information about energy use l Closing your curtains at dusk to stop heat escaping through the windows l Cutting down on wasted energy, avoid leaving appliances such as TVs on standby and remember not to leave appliances on charge unnecessarily

Cambridge Matters

Have your say on our community centres

Elections are coming on Thursday 4 May Elections are taking place in Cambridge and across the county this year on Thursday 4 May for all the seats on Cambridgeshire County Council. Voters in Cambridge will be electing 12 county councillors to represent them. This number has reduced from 14 following changes to county electoral boundaries. These changes mean that some people will need to go to a different polling station from ones they may have voted at previously. Everyone affected will receive an information sheet but you should always check your poll card carefully to see where you need to vote or visit our website to see where the new polling stations are located. On the same day voters across the county and Peterborough will also go to the polls to elect a Mayor for the new Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority. A new system of individual electoral registration was introduced three years ago, meaning some people may not be on the electoral register if they have not yet registered under the new system. You can apply to register to vote online at gov.uk/register-to-vote. It only takes a few minutes but you will need to have your National Insurance number ready, as this is one of the pieces of information that is used to verify your identity. If you don’t have

access to the internet, you can request a paper form by calling 01223 457048. Registering to vote is independent from other council functions, so don’t assume that because you pay Council Tax or have informed us you live at an address, that you are registered to vote. The deadline for registering to vote at the 4 May elections is 11.59pm on Thursday 13 April, but don’t wait to register, do it now and make sure you have a say at the ballot box. The deadline for a postal vote is 5pm on Tuesday 18 April, and the deadline for appointing a proxy (someone to vote in person on your behalf ) is 5pm on Tuesday 25 April.

We are currently asking for views from local people about a new vision and draft proposals for city council community centre provision. The council currently owns eight community centres in the city – managing five of them directly, while three are managed by local groups. The proposed changes and improvements aim to ensure that centres are located in parts of the city with the highest levels of need, and, working with partners, provide the right services for people who need them most. Our draft Community Centres Strategy proposes changes to seven out of eight of our centres, including building a new community centre on the site of the existing Meadows Community Centre in Arbury, to provide priority services currently offered there and at nearby Buchan Street Neighbourhood Centre. Other proposals include improving provision in Kings Hedges, inviting voluntary organisations to take on some centres, and addressing the gaps in provision identified.

• What do you think of the draft

proposals? We’d like to hear from you. To read the full proposals and take part in the consultation visit one of our centres or: Website: cambridge.gov.uk/consultations Phone: 01223 457862 for a printed copy.

Changes to credit card payments If you’re coming into a council office to make a payment in person – for example on your council tax, housing rent or business rates – we will only be able to accept cash or debit cards at our counters from the start of April. If you prefer to make payments using a credit card, you will need to use one of our self-service payment machines.

You will not be charged extra for paying by credit card using a machine. You’ll find the payment machines at our Customer Service Centre, Mandela House, on Regent Street, and at the reception area of The Guildhall. You can also make payments by direct debit or online at cambridge. gov.uk or by calling 01223 457779.
